Tiny House Damage Report after Scotland Storm

As you all know, Northern Scotland experienced another storm last week. This one was particularly strong in comparison to recent gales in the last few weeks causing caravans to overturn and sheds simply flying away. Reports of winds coming in from the Atlantic reaching 102 mph have taken roofs off houses, overturned lorries and bent steel electricity pylons! These are the type of winds that wreck anything in its path much like a small hurricane.

Article from "The Scotsman" describes the situation:

"FORECASTERS are predicting that a second storm will roll in from the Atlantic Ocean, as the country reels from the worst effects of the “weather bomb”. A “brief respite” is to be enjoyed today, before the second stormy system takes hold tomorrow."

For the past week I have been waiting for news as to how the Tiny House stood up to the storm, pretty sure in the back of my mind that it was fine but you always get the "what if" thought niggling away at you.

The tiny house just after we delivered it back in the summer.

I finely received an email from the owner today:

"You will be pleased to hear that tiny house survived last week's "weather bomb" without damage from reports I am receiving. The wind this time was from the SW, so hit it plumb on the back as intended by the initial orientation to withstand this, the prevailing, wind direction"

Despite all the locals who took one look at it when it arrived and were convinced it would blow away or at least tumble on its side, I am delighted to say.... she still stands strong :-)
